It just struck me that I have never really published any of my tbotv art on here. So here's a piece literally no one except for me would ever view as tbotv fanart lol.
Don't mind the lighting/camera being ass.
(While @blaze-mc is my Minecraft shitpost blog, this felt main worthy lol.)
I am not British. I will execute every single one of you I do NOT add an extra "u" in favor labor color and WITH THAT SAID "U" IS NOT IN ANY OF THESE WORDS AS MUCH AS "U" EXISTS NOT IN MY LIFE. BEGONE.
arg community has changed so much in the last few years. like, just looking at any videos from around 2020 is just so defeating. people cared back then. they engaged with the content. they took it seriously and got invested.
nowadays comments are all like "new arg just dropped" and "someone tell wifies". no hate against the man, he's actually of the rare breed that gives a shit. hell half of the videos get comments that just say "arg". like yes it is. what about it? i swear the word is starting to feel derogatory at this point.
they're just mocking people for having hobbies all over again.
hell, a joke about something that actually happened in the specifc video would be better, because at least you watched it. i get it not everyone is an investigator and prefers watching args just for the story, but at this point it's starting to feel like people don't get invested not even to that point.
so i don't understand how people that still create despite it persist. i am haunted by the ideas i have, but i could never deal with this shit
sorry to dump this on you, i have literally no one else to tell this to, that could possibly relate
no that's so.fucking understandable
funnily enough i started doing videos when i was motivated because i just do it for fun
right now im making a huge lore document because then that wouldnt just mean its a huge look into just how expansive my ideas are but how i could easily integrate them into later videos this way when i get motivation because then i could recheck my own information and be consistent
ill be so fucking honest
i had the "mc arg but ___" videos for FUN right
they are the reason i am so demotivated. they are not canon. they will never have a continuation because they are jokes. i made a long statement in the comments and pinned it somewhere about that fact. to not support it.
the only thing i kept is the Viride and the entities shown because it's actually interesting and adds more variety to already the overflowing amount of everything. they are canon but the plot and videos are not
i also had people comment in my videos like "arg!!" "new arg?" "i love this arg" and whatever else
its
quite stupid honestly. i still believe the only reason AAB is an ARG because it stems from one but its leaning towards just being a story, webseries or whatever with small hints, details with little to no encrypted stuff. so i guess theyre only half valid.
trust me, if i ever come to be motivated again to make more videos id probably just Die because multiple would poke at how "hey look arg" basically
so as far as i can do things is work on the lore document. its both all i care about and something i can work with and be motivated on more. videos demotivated me terribly with the comments and especially overwhelming support towards a niche titled video i just made for fun as a PARODY, as a JOKE to how others make these minecraft args.
i will dump all my ideas into tumblr, a couple forums and especially the document because its my shit and i want it to be real
my true motivation for making videos was, youd never guess it, but,
to see my own creation be real from the audience's perspective.
for it feel relatively alive from a third person's view. not for others to enjoy.
thats why i kept going at least through the document.
AAB has been in my mind developing lore since 2023. i had to do something. i was completely solo. everything everywhere is done by me. i dont know how to work in a team and am too afraid to ask anyone. i did everything and my motivators were that i wanted to see it from an audience's perspective and the tbotv arg itself, hence hyperfixating on the arg since ≈2022.
i could care less about others as long as i have enough support and can make myself ignore the ignorant.
i have actually found your yt by accident, through a comment you made. i was like oh hey, it's THE dude 😭
didn't rly do anything about it tho
i am mostly too shy to interact with anything in this fandom for the fear of getting mauled alive by gatekeepers, so you will probably not be aware of my existence, but ye😭
also, another gripe i have with the arg community is that they will criticize args for being too cliché and unoriginal and then they will critisize anyone that tries anything different. shoutout to all the sci-fi args and mundane horror arg and args that AREN'T horror and args don't lean into alpha aesthetic and args with voice acting, y'all the real ones and people don't know what they want
hii i'm the anon from yesterday, sorry if i gave you a heart attack, it was quite late at night for me when i wrote that 😅
anyway, i finally locked in and made a silly lil something for you
*throws your bug at you and runs*
disclaimer: i'm by no means an artist and i rarely draw, but felt like doodling your design for this silly (from the aab files) in my style :3
it's shit and i am very scared, but mama raised no quitter so here ya go!
(context: they're in a chair cuz uh, i asked my friend for a pose and they said: "sitting. chilling like a villain waiting for killing" and i felt like that's very in character. also the idea of an eldritch horror in a chair too small for them is just hilarious :P)
